MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES — DECLARED PLACE
I refer to the article by Amanda Banks of 11 August in The West Australian entitled “Justice closer for mentally ill”, in which the minister announced that work on establishing a declared place was near finalisation. (1) What is the projected cost of establishing a declared place for adults? (2) Is it funded in the 2011–12 budget; and, if not, how will it be funded and by how much? (3) Can the minister give an assurance that the declared place will not be privatised or operated by Serco or any other similar provider? (4) If not, why not? Hon HELEN MORTON

(1)–(4) I thank the honourable member for the question and for some notice of the question. It gives me the opportunity to again indicate how pleased I am with the work that is taking place between the three agencies and the Attorney General and the Ministers for Disability Services and Corrective Services to put together the declared place concept that we now have. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : So, it is a concept now. Hon HELEN MORTON : They have gone a long way to getting — Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : I thought it was near finalisation and now you tell us it is a concept. Hon HELEN MORTON : Finalisation means that we have to get the concept right and the legislation behind it that suits and — Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : It is a long, long way away. Hon HELEN MORTON : Does Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich imagine that we can build something like that in five seconds or something? How funny is she? Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : Oh, so we’re not getting one now! The PRESIDENT : Order! Hon HELEN MORTON : As I have indicated previously, the work necessary to establish the declared places concept and to get the plan for it prepared is nearing finalisation. As the member probably recalls from when she was a minister, these things have to go through a process, and I am pleased to say that that process is underway at the moment. Planning for the appropriate declared place model for the mentally impaired accused is focusing quite specifically at this stage on people with intellectual disability and/or acquired brain injury. This work follows on from the substantial work progressed between the ministerial colleagues I mentioned. While cabinet is yet to consider the declared place concept and its specific details on costs and budget appropriations, we are close to finalising the appropriate model. Significant consultation with key stakeholders has been undertaken, but more of that work will be done as this project progresses. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : We will not be seeing it any time soon, will we? The PRESIDENT : I call Hon Lynn MacLaren. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : No we won’t; no we won’t. Hon Helen Morton : You actually have to build a place — The PRESIDENT : Order! I have just called Hon Lynn MacLaren; I did not call five other people.

(1) What is the projected cost of establishing a declared place for adults? (2) Is it funded in the 2011–12 budget; and, if not, how will it be funded and by how much? (3) Can the minister give an assurance that the declared place will not be privatised or operated by Serco or any other similar provider? (4) If not, why not?

Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : We will not be seeing it any time soon, will we? The PRESIDENT : I call Hon Lynn MacLaren. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : No we won’t; no we won’t. Hon Helen Morton : You actually have to build a place — The PRESIDENT : Order! I have just called Hon Lynn MacLaren; I did not call five other people.
(2) Is it funded in the 2011–12 budget; and, if not, how will it be funded and by how much? (3) Can the minister give an assurance that the declared place will not be privatised or operated by Serco or any other similar provider? (4) If not, why not? Hon HELEN MORTON replied: (1)–(4) I thank the honourable member for the question and for some notice of the question. It gives me the opportunity to again indicate how pleased I am with the work that is taking place between the three agencies and the Attorney General and the Ministers for Disability Services and Corrective Services to put together the declared place concept that we now have. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : So, it is a concept now. Hon HELEN MORTON : They have gone a long way to getting — Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : I thought it was near finalisation and now you tell us it is a concept. Hon HELEN MORTON : Finalisation means that we have to get the concept right and the legislation behind it that suits and — Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : It is a long, long way away. Hon HELEN MORTON : Does Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich imagine that we can build something like that in five seconds or something? How funny is she? Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : Oh, so we’re not getting one now! The PRESIDENT : Order! Hon HELEN MORTON : As I have indicated previously, the work necessary to establish the declared places concept and to get the plan for it prepared is nearing finalisation. As the member probably recalls from when she was a minister, these things have to go through a process, and I am pleased to say that that process is underway at the moment. Planning for the appropriate declared place model for the mentally impaired accused is focusing quite specifically at this stage on people with intellectual disability and/or acquired brain injury. This work follows on from the substantial work progressed between the ministerial colleagues I mentioned. While cabinet is yet to consider the declared place concept and its specific details on costs and budget appropriations, we are close to finalising the appropriate model. Significant consultation with key stakeholders has been undertaken, but more of that work will be done as this project progresses.
